Metro Vancouver needs better Late Night Transit NOW!

This petition was published by Corinne Lea on Jul 29, 2012

Metro Vancouver needs better late night transit available now! This is a serious public safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Translink is the transit authority for metro Vancouver and it is unacceptable to leave the public stranded late at night after the clubs close at 3am. Currently the skytrain closes at 1am which is three hours too early.

The skytrain needs to run until at least 4am every night, especially on weekends. We also need more available taxis and buses in the late night hours. The city doesn't shut down at 1am so why does the skytrain? Translink will make more money from the increased number of fares at this hour, plus this will improve business overall, if people know they can get home safely they will attend more late night events.

Better late night transit will also prevent drinking and driving and increase over all public safety. Translink needs to put an end to this late night mayhem with hundreds of people left stranded in the downtown core. They need to provide safe late night public transit when the public needs it, not just when it suits Translink.
